Morton’s Neuroma and Other Causes of Cycling Foot Pain

With the rise in popularity of cycling since the success of British riders in the Tour de France and Rio Olympics, the number of cycling related forefoot problems we’ve seen at The Barn Clinic has increased.

This is no great surprising considering cycling requires the transfer of power from the legs in a ‘piston like’ motion through the pedals. The resultant compressional forces can detrimentally affect the delicate nerves in the forefoot resulting in burning, tingling and numbness in the forefoot.

Don’t Let Morton’s Neuroma Ruin Your Tennis Season!

It’s that time of year again when Wimbledon takes over and the UK catches a case of the annual tennis bug.

Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic has famously been suffering with Morton’s neuroma, so we think a huge ‘congratulations’ is in order for him overcoming his neuroma, and bagging second place at Wimbledon.

But what if you’ve not been as lucky as Mr. Raonic, and your Morton’s neuroma is holding you back from getting back onto the courts? Well, at The Barn Clinic we know tennis (and we LOVE tennis). Having treated a Wimbledon Men’s Champion, we like to think we’re pretty knowledgeable about the unique strains and requirements that tennis places on our feet.

Of course everyone’s heard of tennis elbow, but you might be surprised to learn that the most common tennis injuries are related to the foot and ankle.

Here are our top tips for managing that Morton’s neuroma pain and keeping your feet comfortable during tennis season.
